Bank Of England Base Rate Announcement 10/06/2010
The Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) today held interest rates at their historic low of 0.5%.
The MPC also left unchanged its £200bn quantitative easing programme.
It comes ahead of the coalition Government's emergency Budget on 22 June as rate setters wait for details of plans to tackle the UK's deficit before making their next move.
Interest rates have been at 0.5% since March 2009.
